The Dyuamite chestnut Again,

LONDON. Aug. 1T-The attempt to
blow up the West Glare railway bridge
near Ennis has created a great sensation.
The outrage is attributed, of course, to
the American section of Irish dynamiters,
and in support of this opinion attention
Is drawn to the fact that the cartridges
hat did not explode are of the American
Type. This is not the most conclusive
evidence that could be brought, but it is
quite sufisienS to satisfy the police
and the public that this plot was con.
ccived and executed by Irish Americans.
1t is more probable, however, that the
outrage was the work of discharged en-.
ployes or peasants actuated by some real
or fancied grievance against the railway.

ST.. JOINS, N. F., Aug. T.-The news
Of the utter failure Of the Labrador fish
cries, confirms the worst fears OF the
people. The alarming report is received
that 1000 vessels are coming back clean,
and that the remaining. 500 crafts have
only q few quintals of fish each. This Is
the most disastrous thing that could hap
pen to the fishing colonies here, which
depend entirely upon tlfe yield of the
ocean for their existence. The news has
produced an indescribable feeling of
gloom and despair. For months the hopes
on the people of this eolony have been
conferred upon Labrador, and now New
Foundland's n industry has failed, q
wall OF agonizing distress comes from the
starving people all along a thousand
miles of coast. They could not only get
any FISH themselves, but they could not
sell their DAFT to French and American
fishermen who were waiting to buy.
Then came the terrible drought, two
months without rain, during which the
few crops that are grown iii patches
along the shore were shriveled mp. The
shore fisheries continued very poor,
and hoping against hope, the people
turned longing eyes toward Labrador.
Last year the catch averaged less than
2o0 q%uintals, and there was starvation
along the coast. The whole hope of the
people consequently depended upon this
years catch. AS late as July "a the
steamer Lady Grover could not get
further north than Gape'Harrison, owing
to the jam of ice extending from the
Ragged Islands northward. A few green
fish -catchers managed to get down, but
no fish were running at Ragged Islands
Or Cape Harrison. Ice is still hanging
about and nothing of any consequence

the post;t, laws now in force, and a care
fully arranged compilation Of the various
general statutes applicable to the depart
finent The regulations are rearranzed,
neatly written, and much condensed.
Fhry contain few radical changes from
existing methods.
The most important change made is 1 n
the of keeping accounts In post.
|offices and in rendering returns thereon.
Heretofore the postmaster was required
10 keep a record of receipts, a quarterly
account current and a general postal ac-
count One class of expenditures or re-
ceipts were required to be entered in one
account and another class i'm the other.
Much confusion resulted in the distinc-
|tiolis between these accounts. Two ac-
counts arc to be consolidated so that one
account is rendered which will be a COM
plete exhibit of the business OF the cur
rent quarter, also give the exact state OF
the postinaster's account with the. de-
partment of postal business; all debts
being charged and credits given in one
account.
In connection with this system Of &C.
counts third and fonrth class postmssters
are to be furnished record books, in which
on forms carefully prepared their accounts
can be easily kept n receipts and ex-
penditures readily stated by merely filling
the blank spaces with the proper figures.
This method will greatly simplify and
render easy the form of keeping Of &c
counts and render returns and enable the
postmaster and his snreties to know the
exact state of his postal account at any
time, as the settlement Of each quarter Is
In effect a final settlement.
This Change is made with the co opera,
ton and assistance of Sixth Auditor Nc
Conville, who believes that great benef.
to the service will result therefrom,
hoth.in convenience to postmasters In &C.
curacy In records and returns, and In the
facility with which count are adjusted
In his Office. The accounts for the pres,
emit quarter will be rendered upon the
new form. The regulations will be dis
srfbuted to p0stmasters early in Septem
Der and will take effect September 10.

NEW York, Aug. 17.-A case came up
before Judge Donohue involving the pur-
chase of one woman's husband by an
otner woman, The title of the case is
James f. Malcolm against Sarah A. Rob-
ms. The plaintiff is a wellknown law
yer, and the defendant is known as Sarah
A. Johnson. The lawyer is suing to rea
cover $40, 600 counsel fees for professional
advice given Miss Robins. The motion
made was TO reopen the case in order to
secure a jury trial. A few days ago the
father of Miss Robins, a wealthy man,
died, leaving $3.50, 600. and u short time
afterward an aunt died, leaving an ad-
ditionai $50. 900 to Miss Robins FOR life,
the principal to go to her legitimate Issue.
The heiress was living at the Bucking-
ham hotel, and at the Windsor resided
DIR. j. G. johnson, his wile and child.
The doctor is a believer in the massage
treatment. DR.. johnson became &C
quainted with Miss Robins, made love to
her, and finally asked her to marty him,
saying that though he was living with
No. i at the Windsor he had secured an
Illinois divorce, and was simply keeping
up q preterse of married life. Miss ROB-.
ms consulted with Mr.. Malcolm "a to the
propriety CT the marriage. Her brother.

was going On and called on Mrs. John

colin advised against the marriage, but
In spite of this Miss Robins and the
doctor went to. London together. It fs al
legged that they we're married there and
h a during their residence abroad a child
was born. 1t was about this time that the
doctor and the two women began negoti-
atoms through their attorneys. They
~endeayored to induce the irsS wife to
seek a divorce in Illinois. She agreed to
do this for 800, 00G, but the othar side
was willing 10 give $50, 900 only. "A conn
promise was effected on this basis, and
she went to Illinois and got a divorce in
1888. After the divorce was obtained
the doctor and Miss Robins returned TO
this city and were married by a clergy

Leopold Creates sensation.

Leopold, presiding Of the inauguration
of the statues OF the Flemish patriots
DeOoning and Jean Brendel at Rruges,
pronounced q stirring speech on Bel.
GUMS traditions and its present indie
pendence. The speech was full of
indirect but clean hints as to the I'M
pending danger that menaces both
Belgium and Holland and was in favor
OF the compulsory military service sot
recently rejected by parliament against
~ kings personal desires. The king
said that the symbolic lion al Flanders
must not go to sleep and Belgium must
guard against an excess of confidence in
her security and in everlasting peace.
Ihe dangers which threatened Flanders
IN the middle ages have not ell disap.
pesred. Civilization has made great
Roadway but the conditions of the life of
nations while undergoing transformation
are still subject to the Influences. Now
adays wars have crushing results for the
vanquished and nations which allow
themselves to be taken by surprise are
lost nations. In the memorable days
when the Flemish burghers fought IN
der the ramparts of co%urtiers, noblemen,
citizens and working men all united to
shed their blood together. Their priests
were by their sides encouraging the
living and blessing the deed. The ex-
ample should be followed and no sacri~
noe neglected to hold the rights and in
dependence Of the fatherland. The king
strongly emphasized the sentence about
q priests and made a pointed ~sllusion
to the recent attitude of the clerical
party who caused the compulsory
